geoffbassist Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have to add in Larry's video! It's too good to leave out. Larry Grenadier with the Brad Mehldau Trio. The tune is really beautiful and Larry has the first solo. For me it's perfection. http://youtu.be/p6nBm8NNdm8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Rinat Ibragimov. He was one of my DB tutor's tutors and I just think he's stunning. I've posted his Bottesini elsewhere so here's some Bach.

TheRev Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Danny Thompson - obviously (I'll resist the tempation to post the video of the spine tingling version of Solid Air from the Transatlantic Sessions as it'll be the umpteenth time I've put it up...) Also Dan Berglund - I've only recently discovered EST and I'm really enjoying their music and Dans playing style. No-one has (ever) mentioned Ali Friend, who alongside Mr Thompson, was the inspiration for my picking up the big bass. His credits include Beth Orton, Clayhill and the groundbreaking Red Snapper.

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 [quote name='ubassman' timestamp='1384596532' post='2278452'] Dan Berglund - for making the complex appear simple...immaculate timing, versatility, and just the vibe he brings to the music ! Not found a single defining clip but love his work with EST [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gXhwv9_ZS0[/media] [/quote] The pizz tone on this to me is the holy grail that electric bass players want but will never get, I dare say getting it on DB is probably a lot harder than he is making it look!

timbass Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 [quote name='geoffbassist' timestamp='1384695704' post='2279525'] That great Jimmy Garrison video made me think of this short video interview with the late Art Davis who played along side Jimmy Garrison on John Coltrane's album Ascension.

Your Arvell Shaw video is AWESOME Tim. I can't believe how far he takes it. Not many bassists abandon the form and just go off on one, but that is incredible the way he does. It just keeps building, incredible. Edited November 21, 2013 by geoffbassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
